Retail Liability

Practice group members handle numerous large national retail chains with respect to premise liability claims, falling merchandise, false arrest claims involving theft prevention personnel and liability for third party criminal acts.

In a particularly noteworthy case, Plunkett Cooney attorneys successfully asserted the shopkeepers privilege, MCLA 600.2917 (1) to defeat the plaintiff's claims of a wrongful arrest. Our attorneys were able to show that the shopkeeper had probable cause at the time of the arrest or detention to believe the plaintiff had committed or aided or abetted in the larceny of goods and as a result, ultimately, the plaintiff’s claim failed.
